While I don't think anything nefarious was going on, I think the below is a good rant. I imagine Sir Paul wanted to come on after dark, most headliners do...but why did the ticket say 6:30 instead of say, 7:30?

I have been searching for a review from the Saturday night show. What is perplexing me here is no mention of the way Citi Field held the fans hostage for so many hours and no one is blogging their disgruntled feelings on the web ANYWHERE. Sir Paul was fantastic Saturday night, he is truly a showman. However, it clearly stated on our tickets that the show was to start at 6:30, with some error for change. What was not mentioned, opening act to start at 7:37pm with an hour 20 minute delay until McCartney took the stage. In my view it was just one big ploy to force the fans to spend money in the stadium for lack of anything else to do for 3 hours. And spend they did along with the other favorite American pasttime, eat out of sheer boredom while paying exhorbant prices for beer and wine. I can understand the prices on the food, it was not bad for stadium chow, but come on, my time is more valuable than to sit on a bleacher for this long while waiting for things to start. The largest portion of McCartney's fanbase are nearer to his age group and spending 5 hours at Citi Field was a heck of a lot. Another problem with the seating at this stadium is the large screw that hold the back of the seat in place. If you still happen to have long hair, it wraps around the screws and gets caught. SO, being in an enviroment for so many hours without pulling my own hair out, what I missed the stadium seat got.
